They said he was broken. Born without magic. Chained at sixteen. Thrown from the sky like trash. But Kael Veyrin didn’t lack power. He had too much. In a world where floating cities rule the heavens and magic belongs only to “pure” bloodlines, Kael is a Hollowborn, someone society calls defective. During the Ascension Rite, his touch doesn’t awaken magic. It shatters it. And in doing so, he exposes a truth the world was never meant to remember. Magic was stolen.The system is a lie. And Kael is proof. Marked as a Reverter, hunted by the ruling Council, Kael discovers a forbidden ability: he can copy any spell, any power, and see magic as it was before bloodlines controlled it. But every spell costs him something far worse than pain. His identity. With every stolen ability, his mind fractures. чуж Voices bleed into his thoughts. His body changes. His humanity slips away, percentage by percentage. Now the city above wants him erased. The world below wants him dead. And the only person anchoring him to who he was is about to be executed as bait. He has one hour. A 0.03% chance of success. And a choice that will decide the fate of magic itself. Climb back to the sky… or lose himself becoming strong enough to burn it all down. Power can free the world. Or erase the boy who wields it.

Notice: This will be a long, long story, so it will be a slow burn for at least the first two arcs. But if you are interested in a long, wide-ranging story, I hope you will read. Notice 2: I will be fixing the grammar of the chapter within my story, around 5 per day, starting from 25/05/2025. I have heard the grammar in the earlier chapter has been an issue for many, and admittedly, I have always sucked at that aspect, which I have gotten a lot better at over the years, so I will be redoing that. Logs and other special chapters are not included in this five-chapter count. Notice 3: All corrections are done.
